Chinese names - a funny atory?
Most Chinese names have 3 characters - surname, generation name followed by our personal name , my surname is c..., my generation is fun, my personal name is woo
so my name should "c... fun woo" but those relatively uneducated police who were responsible for registering births in the early days of Malaya add an extra "g" so my generation name thus my name in "c... fung woo" but all my sisters' names were c... fun "this" and fun "that"
my birth certificate brcame c... fung woo, while my other identification documents was c.. fung woo @ c... fun woo.
I chose to use my other name c... fung woo in my communications to differentiate from my sisters
Don't know if you find this story funny - whatever i will title this post "Chjinese names - a funny story. I wanted to add real gfunny but let us not overexaggerate
